I visit the restaurant fairly regularly. It’s can be busy and noisy at times, but the food is great and the staff are friendly and helpful. It’s ideal for larger groups as well as a table for two!

My favourite restaurant ever! Booked a table for 18 people for my birthday meal and nothing was too much trouble. Easy to phone up and book and paid deposit over the phone, emailed over our food orders one week before no problem. All food came out together and was piping hot, all orders correct and cooked fresh! Amazing food, lovely attentive friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us! Brought over the cake along with a knife, plates and napkins without a fuss, really such a lovely place to have a delicious family meal! Would recommend to everyone, such a lovely restaurant, definitely one of the best in Plymouth, 10/10! Thank you all so much x

My wife and I enjoyed our visit at 8:30pm. It seemed chaotic, but was seated quickly, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and served in good time. We will book a lot sooner for an earlier sitting and will definitely be returning.

Booked a table for 7 of us. We all work together in customer service.
My starters of potato skins were disappointing. Cheap plastic cheese. Burnt on one side. My pasta dish was nice though. Cordon bleu. Out of the 7 of us only 2 of our mains were acceptable.
The pizza was prepared wrong then sent back twice. The chicken pesto was bland and the pasta was undercooked. The korma dish was also inedible. The carbonara was stodgy and bland too. Bought this the the attention of the owner only to be met with a rude aggressive response. Argued with our table about the food and this went on for the remainder of our time there. I WOULD NOT recommend this establishment at all. Disgusting behaviour. Over hyped.

Lovely place. Not much has changed in twenty years. Still great value and friendly local business.

My family and I went to this restaurant to celebrate my daughter GCSC results. Didn't book a table so probably that's why not have nice table and privacy at all as we was given the table right next to the bar where everyone was walking next to us. The weirdest thing in there was a man (the manager) standing in the middle of the room and looking on the staff and the door all the time with a not very nice face. He looked like he is angry and stressing the staff and guests or at least we felt that way. Food was OK but just ok, my daughter ordered a cannelloni but there was no flavour at all and the cannelloni tubes had barely any meat in it. In general very disappointing.
Will not recommend

This was a beautiful meal as usual the staff are very professional and an extremely comfortable atmosphere.

The atmosphere and staff are both pleasant but the food was average, albeit with great, large portion sizes. It’s not a bad place by any means but not particularly great either.

Since leaving uni, I haven't eaten here for 12 years. On a return trip to Plymouth with my family, I had to book.

Quality food, quality service and a lovely place. Couldn't fault it at all! Just like I remembered. Thank you!

Kid-friendliness: Such a good kid's menu! Children can choose anything from the menu and they get a children's portion!

I visited the resturant with my team, Battel Bonfire Boyes (BBB Firework crew) the night before we set up for our display for the British Championships. The staff were excelent and as able to cope with nearly everyone (we had a table of 16) all having different meals. The staff kept checking we all had drinks and was happy with our meal.
Food was delicious and had no complaints (which is very unusal for the boyes I was with, they usually find something to moan about).

I would 100% reccomend this resturant.
